Game: Shantae - Risky's Revenge: Director's Cut
Distro: Mint 18.1 x64
DE: MATE
Kernel: 4.15.18-041518-generic
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
WINE version: 3.18 Staging (With ESync enabled)
WineHQ link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=16445 How well does it run: Perfectly.
Install notes: Installing the game from the installer works correctly and the usual error at the end can be ignored. No Winetricks or any additional software are required to run the game.
Additional Info: The game has 2 minor non-game-breaking issues:
1) Occasionally it would freeze on exit and you have to kill the process manually.
2) If you run the game in full screen it might hang at a black screen, to fix the problem go to the game's Wine prefix and from there open up "
/users/your_username/Application Data/Wayforward/riskysrevenge/wfEngine.ini" in a text editor, change
windowed=false to
windowed=true and the game will launch correctly.
I also found the game to work smoother on fewer threads, I limited the game to just 2 cores on my Ryzen 1700X. To limit cores run the game with "taskset -c 0-1"

WINE version: 3.18 Staging (With ESync enabled)
WineHQ link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17469 Note: These reports are old and the errors are only present with WineD3D, game works perfectly with DXVK.
Does it run with DXVK?: Yes, I used version 0.90 (this game needs the 32bit dll's)
How well does it run: Perfectly (with DXVK), the game's framerate is locked to the V-Sync without the possibility of turning it on/off, in my case a solid 60fps.
Install notes: Installing the game from the installer works correctly and the usual error at the end can be ignored. With the exception of DXVK, no Winetricks or any additional software are required to run the game.
